In Sedona, Arizona, there are areas that are believed to be portals to the spirit-world that contain the concentrated energies of celestial and terrestrial spirits, rising from the red-stoned earth at the areas known as the Vortexes of Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Boynton Canyon, Airport Mesa and others.

It is long been reknowned as the spiritual center of the world, but regardless of your beliefs, you will definitely feel something. When you are in the vicinity of one of these amazing spots, you may feel tingling on your skin or vibrations emanating from the ground.

The energy swirls out of the earth and the nearby trees and other vegetation are affected. The trees, near the Vortexes, have gnarled, spiraling trunks.

Recently, I spent one full day exploring the main vortexes around the town of Sedona. While we conducted EVP sessions and videos, the winds at the top of each location swallowed out any possible communications with the spirits - each recording has a thrumming, humming wind whispering sound. But then again, perhaps this was Mother Earth singing to us.

Trekking the mile or so from the empty parking lot to the base of Boynton Canyon in the late afternoon, we noticed that there were no other hikers and the area took on a very eerie feeling. Suddenly on the path ahead of us, this older gentleman with a long walking stick, white goatee and Tilly hat pulled low over his eyes, came into view. As he approached, he held out his closed hand. Opening it, he showed us this silver dollar sized red rock shaped like a heart. He said to me, "This was meant for you," and placed it in my palm.

Looking down and distracted for a few seconds, I turned to thank him and he wasn't there anymore. We didn't hear him walk off and weren't quite sure how he could have rounded the next bend so quickly. Shaking our heads and thinking, oh well, we continued to the Vortex.

The climb to the top of Boynton Canyon Vortex is a steep incline and uphill. As you ascend, you will begin to find renewed energy and your previous breathlessness is replaced by a calming peace - your pulse slows drastically and exertion is effortless.

Once we arrived atop the Boynton Canyon Vortex, we noticed a tree containing lots of red rocks nesting in the V formed by the branches of a twisted and gnarled tree. It was then I realized that this heart belonged up here, and after a tantric meditation it was placed with all the other prayers to this mystical vortex.
